Attractions in Tokyo and Japan that are closed due to coronavirus – Updated Apr 8
Take note of these temporary closures: museums, art galleries, theme parks and tourist attractions
In light of the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak around the world, a growing number of venues in Tokyo and across Japan, from museums and galleries to theme parks and tourist attractions, are closing temporarily. This is a preventive measure to help curb the spread of the virus, and also to safeguard the health of the venues' employees and visitors.
Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike has since urged Tokyo citizens to stay in and refrain from going out unless it’s urgent. She has also recommended avoiding nightlife activities, as venues like bars and clubs are believed to be higher-risk environments for contracting the coronavirus.
In the meantime, Japan National Tourism Organization has set up a 24-hour coronavirus hotline for tourists, available in English, Chinese and Korean. Call 050 3816 2787 within Japan, or +81 50 3816 2787 from overseas.
If you're staying in, go binge-watch these Japanese shows with English subtitles on Netflix, or travel through Tokyo via these books set in the capital.
We will update this list as we hear of more closures in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan.
